Colleges like Temple University for Architecture BS/BA?

I didn’t read the full thread so may be suggesting some things that others have already stated. If you’re reasonably sure you’ll never want to pursue an architecture license ignore the suggestion below. :slight_smile:

The list in your OP is very reach(y) to my opinion. No problem with applying to them but wouldn’t set expectations on them - particularly if you need merit to make it work (several don’t offer it or offer it only to very very high qualified kids).

I understand you don’t want a pre-professional B-Arch program (initially). Even so, I would go to the NAAB website and look up the list of schools that offer M-Arch degrees. Those schools will - mostly - offer a BA/BS Arch program and have it structured as a 4+2. See if any of those schools/area’s speak to you as a potential target.

If you go to a BA/BS Arch program at a school that does not offer an NAAB accredited program you’re likely looking at a 3 year master program if you decide to go that route.

Syracuse is a BArch program that requires (and puts heavy weight) on the portfolio submission.
